579: The Situation at School

Deep in a certain mountain thousands of miles away from the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom, Mei Luo slowly descended.

Her body roiled with demonic energy. Her eyes, lips and hair were jet black and a seductive charm exuded from her body. It was obvious she wasn’t an ordinary person.

A voice suddenly rang out from nearby. Mei Luo smiled coldly and a great change happened. The demonic energy in her body disappeared and the color of her hair, eyes, and lips returned to their normal human color, while the seductive charm became noble and elegant. It was clear she was an aristocratic girl from a big background.

“How strange. There’s someone here!” Surprise sounded from a lively voice.

“Hello! Are you adventurers going into the mountains for a mission? I had an accident and ended up stuck here. If it’s convenient, can you lead me out of here? Of course, it won’t be for nothing. I’ll repay you all!” Mei Luo looked eagerly at the adventurers who appeared, her eyes imploring.

The adventurers didn’t believe a random stranger. After asking her several questions to confirm her identity, they agreed to take her down the mountain with them.

They knew Mei Luo was the real deal and truly was the granddaughter of an elder of the Adventurer’s guild. In other words, she was rich. Earning a few less gold in exchange for earning her favor was worth it! They treated her very well and didn’t even mention the reward.

The team Mei Luo temporarily joined was a five-person team made up of one teenage girl named Wei Wei and four older men. Their ages were varied but the oldest of the men was the girl’s father. The youngest was twenty-seven or twenty-eight while the other three were all over thirty. The group took missions together often.

Wei Wei fawned on Mei Luo once she learned Mei Luo’s identity.

Mei Luo had grown up surrounded by people trying to curry her favor, so how could she not recognize the telltale signs? Mei Luo didn’t reveal the disdain in her heart. Instead, she kept a noble demeanor, was gracious and ignored their faux pas.

The men sighed, admiring her good upbringing.

The only man in his twenties flirted with her several times, but how could she take a liking to such a weak adventurer? She kept a neutral attitude toward him and didn’t display any signs of favor or disfavor.

The other three watched Wei Wei and the man fawn over Mei Luo. They didn’t say anything about it. There was no loss so why complain?

Under the team’s escort, Mei Luo finally made it off the mountain that had trapped her for several days.

The team booked several rooms from a hotel at the foot of the mountain to acclimate to the elevation change.

Early the next morning, Mei Luo came down alone from the second floor and settled the accommodation fee with the front desk.

“How strange. I remember six of you came together yesterday. Where is everyone else?” The innkeeper chatted casually as he counted the money.

Mei Luo’s pupils shrank slightly. She said, “They had something to do and left in the night. I was asked to take care of the fees.”

“That urgent?! Wow.” The innkeeper was surprised but he didn’t think too much of it.

Mei Luo silently nodded. The innkeeper saw she wasn’t interested in chatting so he didn’t say anything more.

After leaving the inn, Mei Luo smiled brightly against the warm sunshine. Anyone who cared to check would have seen her strength improved a lot overnight.

“There is nothing wrong with becoming a demon. Now I have a faster way of gaining power. Prince Ming Xi, Feng Wu, wait for me. Wait for me to get stronger. I will definitely pay the two of you a visit and get my revenge for what happened in Blue Moon. . . ”

After muttering to herself, Mei Luo walked forward and left town without a backward glance.

Feng Wu and Ming Xi had no idea they were being targeted. They didn’t even remember who Mei Luo was.

Somehow, ten days passed in the blink of an eye and Feng Wu and Ming Xi returned to school.

On campus, Hua Jin was unhappy despite doing well and being praised and fawned by a growing number of people. The two people she had her eye on disappeared at the same time. The discovery nearly made her crazy as her mind filled with images of the two playing hooky and having a good time together.

It wasn’t until she received news from her family that Ming Xi and Feng Wu were in the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom that she settled down.

And upon learning Ming Xi was seriously injured, she had wanted to go back immediately go back, but her mother disapproved of her doing so. Her family kept assuring her there was nothing she could do to help heal Ming Xi. What she needed to do was take care of things on her end, to lay the foundation for dealing with Feng Wu so that when Feng Wu returned, she could finish her off in one blow. She needed something that would force Feng Wu never appear in front of Ming Xi ever again.

Hua Jin already came up with several evil ideas, which, if executed properly, would make Feng Wu lose so much face Ming Xi would hate Feng Wu forever.

Little Bun had been unhappy recently. A few days ago, he felt something serious happen to his mother. It worried him a great deal. But then, just as suddenly, the heavy feeling in his heart disappeared. He didn’t know what happened but knew his mother was fine.

Rui Baby[notes] followed Little Bun and had recently been hanging out with the assistant principal.

Since Little Bun learned to walk more steadily, his range of activities had greatly increased. Sometimes if the assistant principal wasn’t paying attention, Little Bun ran to other parts of the school looking for something fun.

Fortunately, it was easy to find Little Bun because he was so memorable. The assistant principal, relying on witness testimonials, found Little Bun without much effort. In fact, most of the time, the assistant principal just sent trustworthy seniors to find him and bring him back.
